Our plan at this time is to implement a generalized pet name system that enables users to write human-readable names instead of DIDs when addressing other spheres. This is the tracking issue that c...

Petnames: A humane approach to secure, decentralized naming
Names must be human-readable in order to be widely used. Unfortunately, while DIDs and Tor .onion addresses are decentralized and globally unique, they are not human readable. How can we build user interfaces that real users might actually use? In this paper we provide an overview of petname systems, a way of mapping human readable names to cryptographically secure names, and describe changes to two user interface designs that we believe that are compatible with intuitive user expectations. We first discuss the smartphone contact list as already approximating petnames to some degree and discuss how to augment it with secure introduction. We then walk through several changes to browsers (which may be provided natively or as an extension) which add the functionality of a petname system. By utilizing petname systems we are able to collectively support individual naming definitions, community curated directories of names, as well as existing naming authorities such as certificate authorities and the domain name system, government agencies such as trademark offices, and decentralized systems such as Namecoin.

We need a new username system
What do Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram and a gazillion other digital platforms have in common? They all treat usernames like a baby treats a diaper instead of the precious and lucrative resource they are.
Named-Entity Recognition on web pages
In a project, I had the goal of detecting named entities on the web page I am looking at without calling an external service, using NER. Named-Entity Recognition (NER) is a task that aims to extract entities from a text, like locations, persons, organizations, etc.

Petname Tool: Enabling web site recognition using the existing SSL infrastructure
The existing WWW infrastructure already provides for authentication of web sites. Unfortunately, the advent of phishing has shown that the mainstream user interface to web site authentication is not meaningful to users. This paper proposes a new browser user interface widget, the petname tool, that integrates meaningful authentication information into the browsing workflow.
